The only person I'm aware of, who's said the system is "broken", is you.
Thus, it's unworthy of consideration...

Really? What about what Ron Paul said about it? What about when you said "Second, I've already said that changes need to be made to our system of capital punishment."?

What people? I see YOU complaining about it, and since you don't need him to say it, who the hell needs him to say it in order to vote for him?

It's the only logical conclusion that can be reached. Why should I assume he wants to fix it?

The only logical conclusion to the statement that something is broken is that he doesn't want to fix it?

He's pointed out what he believes is wrong with it. I can respect that. He's too chickenshit to say he wants to fix it. I can't respect that...

Why do you assume fear is the reason he didn't say it? Furthermore, did it ever cross your mind that perhaps his specifying only the FEDERAL death penalty, that he wants to simply give that power to the states?

We're discussing Ron Paul; no one else.
Paul's position is one I disagree with...

Then what theoretical bill would you have RP pass to fix what I mentioned?
Quote:
There are certainly instances; the majority of them I believe, where the death penalty is righfully applied. That should continue. However, those can't continue if someone is completely incapable of addressing, with solutions, the problems that do exist in the system...

So should we or should we not be offing people left and right with a broken system?
